With Azz Fest, Video Team, known for its middle of the road ethnic fare, enters the hard-edged sweepstakes. Driven by the popularity of such raunchy raincoater product, practically every other adult studio is churning the stuff out, so why not VT?

Helmed very capably by in house director Van Styles, Azz Fest puts forth well energized, down and dirty couplings and threeways that can hold their own against similar fare from hard-edge-only companies. Featuring a solid cast of ready and eager porn whores, four of the five scenes include - as one might glean from the title - rump-humping (Cherokee doesn't take it up the azz, but there's enough hot shots of her luscious butt as her pussy slides up and down Mr. Marcus's pole to compensate) and are chock-full of such hard-edge staples as d.p.s, gape, drool, gagging and nasty money shots.

Arguably the hottest scene is the fourth in which the oh-so-filthy Fiona Cheeks puts on a hot-wired performance clinic while taking Brian Surewood and Falon down her throat, in her pussy, up her ass and all over her face, culminating in some always delightful cum bubble-blowing. It doesn't hurt matters that Cheeks looks considerably better than when we last saw her, having lost her teeth braces and transformed herself from a blonde to a way more becoming brunette.

Amid all this praise, however, one minor bitch. On the DVD, one cannot skip the Video Team Website promo or the phone sex ads and go straight to the menu, and that's pretty annoying.
